PostNL Sorting Centers – A Complete List

There are now over 40 PostNL Sorting Centers around the world. While the majority can be found in Europe, the Netherlands-based operation also has facilities in America, Australia, and partnerships in the Far East.

In this list, we have rounded up all the PostNL sorting center codes, alongside their locations.

First, let’s quickly cover what a PostNL Sorting Center is.

What is a PostNL Sorting Center?

PostNL Sorting Center

A PostNL Sorting Center is a large warehouse where mail and packages are sorted for onward dispatch to their relevant destinations.

For example, a PostNL sorting center that opened in Tilburg, Netherlands in 2019 is 7,600 square meters in size and has the capability to sort 32,000 parcels a day.

A more recent announcement from PostNL states that an upcoming project based in Westzaan (also in the Netherlands) will be even larger with an expected sorting capability of 40,000 to 50,000 packages a day.

Essentially, the sorting center is a hub in the shipment infrastructure, where parcels arrive and are sorted so that they can then begin the next leg of the journey toward the area of delivery.

A package can pass through a PostNL sorting center both at the beginning of the shipment journey (after being initially received by the carrier) and at the end before being sorted for final delivery.
